(110) and (103) YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 films have been grown onto exact and vicinal (110) SrTiO 3 substrates, and on vicinal (110) MgO substrates with a SrTiO 3 buffer layer. The samples are carefully characterised by reciprocal space mapping with x-ray diffraction, in order to investigate the features of the typical double domain of (110) and (103) YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 structure. It is demonstrated that vicinal cut substrates allow to select one film/substrate epitaxial relation. The growth properties of these thin films deposited on vicinal surfaces are discussed.

AbstractEpitaxial (001)-, (116)- and pseudo (103)-oriented Sr0.35Bi2.2Ta2O9 (SBT (0.35/2.2/2.0)) films were successfully grown on (001), (110) and (111) SrTiO3 substrates, respectively. High-resolution X-ray diffraction reciprocal space mapping (HRXRD-RSM) measurements and pole figure measurements clearly indicated that the (116)-oriented SBT (0.35/2.2/2.0) film consisted of two growth domains those c-axis are separated 180° apart in in-plane and pseudo (103)-oriented SBT film consisted of three growth domains those c-axis are separated 120° apart in in-plane. Moreover, lattice parameter measurements indicated that SBT films grew in fully relaxed state.

ABSTRACTCharacterization by reciprocal space mapping of x-ray diffraction (XRD) intensity was carried out for epitaxial layers of GaN-based laser structures on two GaN substrates: GaN substrate and GaN template on sapphire substrate. The difference between these two substrates was shown clearly. The distribution of XRD intensity of the epitaxial layers on GaN substrate was smaller than that of the epitaxial layers on GaN template on sapphire substrate. In the lasers with the epitaxial structure on GaN substrate, the light output power was as high as 200 mW under continuous-wave operation at room temperature. Excellent noise characteristics with relative intensity noise of -132 dB/Hz were also obtained at a low light output power of 3 mW without any high-frequency modulation. These results support that GaN substrates are promising for realizing GaN-based lasers with high performance.

AbstractThin films of the Tl‐based superconductors often have relatively poor properties because of film/substrate interdiffusion which occurs during the anneal. We have therefore investigated the use of BaF2 as a diffusion barrier. TICaBaCuO thin films were deposited by dc magnetron sputtering onto MgO <100> substrates, both with and without an evaporation‐deposited BaF2 buffer layer, and post‐annealed in a Tl over‐pressure. Electrical properties of the films were determined by four‐point probe analysis, and compositions were measured by ion‐backscattering spectroscopy. Structural analysis was performed by X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The BaF2 buffer layers were found to significantly improve the properties of the TICaBaCuO thin films.

Conduction Behavior

La1−xSrxMnO3 (LSMO) (x = 0−0.3) films were prepared on SrTiO3(001) substrates by the dipping-pyrolysis process using metal naphthenates as starting materials. Epitaxially grown LSMO films were obtained by heat treatment at 800–1200 °C; the fluctuation of alignment of these films, evaluated by reciprocal-space mapping of asymmetric x-ray diffraction, was markedly small, as comparable to that of the substrates. The LSMO films with x = 0.1−0.3 showed metallic conduction behavior at 25–300 K, and the resistivity was as low as that of LSMO single crystals, e.g., 4.5 × 10−4 Ω · cm at 150 K for the film with x = 0.3.

Influence Of Substrate

We have successfully fabricated high-quality YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−x (YBCO) thin films grown on sapphire with epitaxial Yttria-Stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ) buffer layer by pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction and Auger depth profile were used to characterize these thin films. The values of zero-resistance temperature Tco and critical current density J c (at 77 K) of c-axis oriented YBCO thin film with 500 Å-YSZ buffer layer were 91 K and 2.2×106 A/cm 2, respectively. The Auger depth profile showed that no obvious diffusion occurred between the buffer layer and the YBCO film. The influence of substrate temperature and thickness of buffer layer has been investigated.

Znte Thin Films

To overcome the naturally existing Schottky barrier problem between p-CdTe and any metal, an intermediate semiconductor thin buffer layer is a better choice prior to the final metallization for contact. Among many investigated back contact materials the ZnTe is suitable as a buffer layer. ZnTe thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by the thermal evaporation technique under vacuum ~2×10-5mbar. Undoped ZnTe thin films are highly resistive, extrinsic doping of Cu was made to improve the electrical conductivity. Films were doped by immersing in Cu NO32.5H2O solutions for Cu doping. To optimize the growth parameters the prepared films were characterized using various techniques. The structural analysis of these films was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and optical transmission. X-ray diffraction identified the phases present in these films and also observed that the prepared films were polycrystalline. Also the spectral dependence of absorption coefficient was determined from spectrophotometer. Energy band gap index were calculated from obtained optical measurements data.
